Well....for those that eat meat, I'm sorry if this will put you off.

I'm going to try and give a balanced view here, but remember, as I don't eat meat, the argument against it will be slightly weighed!!

Firstly, why do we eat meat?
Okay, your parents made you eat it since birth, and you never knew better.
There are animal there to be killed and ate.

If they weren't killed the animal population would grow until we have to send them abroad, then we would have cattle smuggled into the country, and then they would migrate, and so on, I think you get the idea even if it is a bit over the top.

Meat can cause cancer!
How many times have you heard that?
Not too much I bet!
Well....according to a leading doctor who writes for a national newspaper, there is sufficent evidence to prove meat can cause cancer.
Apparently, it sits in the digestive system for ages, and releases a toxic chemical into the bloodstream that causes cancer.
According to that doctor, in 5 years time scientists will confirm this belief and all meat sold in shops will have to be labelled; Meat can cause cancer!

Okay, cut all that rubbish out...thats just one doctor I hear some say(Mainly the meat eaters I bet).
Well, you're true.
And what EVIDENCE I also hear you say?

Still going on loudly I hear comments like, if it did cause cancer why hasn't the government admitted it already.


I hope you can see the balanced view coming across now...


Now for the veggies....
The government is thick, their liars...
When that ONE doctor was going on about BSE in cattle YEARS ago, no-one took a bit of notice, politicans threw garbage at him.
If "reports" were true then, and it is I will add - It is true that BSE exists - why didnt the government admit it YEARS ago?

There was no risk to lamb all the veggie's heard;

The doctor said it was....

Again, he was rubbished, spat on the lot.. but now they have admitted it.

Conclusion.... All it takes is time to reveal the answers.

Well...if I havent gone on enough, or put you off your steak pie your eating while reading this, read on.

So, the veggie's seem to have one up on the meatie's.

Meatie's: At least we get our protein!! Ha ha
True - meat is a brilliant source of protein that a lot of us veggie's miss out on.
Without chumbling our way through nuts, lentils, seeds all that bird food we miss out on protein a lot.

Whoops, it looks like it's 1 - 1.

And the meatie's also add that fish is being poisoned in the salmon farms.
High levels of dioxins are found in salmon, mackerel, tuna and so on.

If the veggie's dont eat fish - I do, you're okay.
If not, it's 2 -1 to the meatie's.

And all the vegetables sprayed with all kinds of muck, herbicides, pesticides, googlevides whatever next....
Surely that can't be too good for all us veggie's.

Okay, meatie's seem to win this argument 3 - 1.


But then all the veggie's take a step back and say....WHAT ARGUMENT?????
What have the meatie's actually proved?
Meat is good for you?
WRONG - All food will eventually kill you 0- that is a fact!

Everyone's left speechless now on.

It's a debate and personal choice.
I'm staying veggie.
What about you.....comments greatly appreciated.
